2. Can you remember the first time you picked up a camera? Your first subject?

My first subject was my old friend from school; in 2007. She was a beautiful woman, and I wanted to show her how I experienced her beauty.

3. What made you choose photography? Or did it choose you?!

I don’t know who choose whom. I believe that it was just a life coincidence, a good coincidence. I studied architecture originally, but after a few years I realized it wasn’t my life’s mission. Then I decided to give my beloved hobby a try, and explore whether or not it might be the right direction for my life. To be honest, I never thought this career would develop so quickly.

4. Are you drawn to a particular style of photography, as a connoisseur? Are there specific artists that inspire your style?

There are a few photographers who are my absolute inspirations like Helmut Newton, Steven Meisel, Peter Lindberg, Paolo Roversi. I’d say I have a classical style of photography, but I’m open to experiencing new techniques.

5. Do you prefer shooting with models or with friends? And when you do shoot models…favorite agencies to work with, or specific subjects?

I never have restrictions to a model or not; if I a see a beautiful person (who may be a friend, an acquaintance or a professional) I would just ask to take an image of him/her. Job-wise: of course I work more often with professional models, but also many actresses, bloggers and other civilians.The agencies that I work with most are: M4, 2PM, Core, Izaio, Spin and a lot of independent scouters.

6. Also: is it easier to shoot men or women? Why?!

For me, there is zero difference (in the sex of the model); if its man or a woman. It’s about the beautiful human being.

7. Where do we find you living these days?

I live in the city of Berlin! Of course, I travel a lot and working in many different places, in different countries, around the world. Mostly I am in Berlin.

8. Favorite environment to work in…Studio or on location?

My studio gives me a great feeling of control, power and security; and sometimes for the model, it is easier to open up in the studio. Of course, I also love location shootings. Even if I’m on a vacation, if I spot an amazing setting, I go crazy to try and find a model for a few shots.

9. Do you have an intuitive way to identify a location for your shoots? When you see it, does it just feels right to you? Or are there different planning/ selection steps

involved?

I think every photographer or creative mind has this intuition. You just see it and it’s like: “Damn, so here it shall be!”. But it doesn’t always work out. I check the lighting and then I do some test shots, so I can see if the images that are produced, match the vision that I’ve imagined.

10. Do you love the control of diverse lighting set ups, or do you prefer working with natural light?

I love the control of creating in my studio, yes. But there is nothing in this world as beautiful as the magical light of a natural sunset. There is no artificial light arrangement that can simulate that!

11. As a very successful photographer already…What’s “the dream” Anna?

First, thank you for asking me this question. I don’t think I’m of myself as being a ‘successful’ photographer yet; but I will assert that I am on my way there! My dream is to have no walls inhibiting me from unlimited creation: no model or celebrity that I wouldn’t be able to work with. That fantasy would include the greatest clients in the world, and being appreciated by the worlds most creative minds.

12. Finally, on a personal note, tell us your favorite things: vacationing spot, type of music, a splurge, a designer you love, and or your drink of choice (if you have one)?!

Welcome to our newest editorial from Swiss photographer (and team) Ramon Spaeti. ‘Hip To Be Square’ encapsulates modern style, and effortless energy; mixed high on a turntable to some carefree funk. The story is an ironic blend of cheeky and demure. It plays on fashion’s light hearted origin as a costume art, and a way to make light of the seriousness of our lives. The protagonista, Michelle M. was a perfect choice to portray the coy, urbanite lead. She infuses attitude and aloof charisma to an otherwise, very quotidian succession of experiences and interactions. The eclectic looks we’re compiled by genius stylist Debora Giugno, and offset by low maintenance grooming additions from artist Philipp Keusen. As is often the case in life as in art, the devil’s in the details. Enjoy!

Our infamous contributor, Pino Leone, shows his aptitude for wielding a spotlight, with his newest editorial, entitled ‘A Discerning Palate’. The studio set employs dramatic contrast and modern style,s to push the envelope of edginess. With the glance felt ’round the world, dazzling beauty Vaida Tamulenaite lights a million torches and captures the readers’ full attention. Donned in fur and feathers, lace and latex, Vaida is at once beguiling and audacious throughout. The arresting nature of the series is undeniable; with much more at hand, than just the provocative essence of a flawless muse. Forward thinking stylist, Simona Sanfedele, compiles a structured yet sensual wardrobe of La Perla, Celyn B., Halaby and Max Bianco, for the piece; blending opposing elements of hard and soft, to balance the drama of the composition. Each look was given a brilliant finish by beauty pro, Giordana Hassan, and fully embodied by our model. It can be very rare to find such an impeccable outcome of composing a fashion story…but when you consider the unlimited promise of all parties involved, it’s hard to imagine anything less. Enjoy!

Stefano Fabbri returns to Satiety Paper with a lovely new studio set featuring the Paper’s alum, Joanne N. The story highlights the fluidity of the model’s powerful physique; spotlighting her as the focus, in white underpinnings, lingerie basics and the application of strong contrasts. The highlight on Joanne’s figure allows the details of the dark background to exist with subtlety, and to support the journey of the eye, rather than detract from it. We found these strong and simple (black and white) images immediately reminiscent of some of Lindbergh newest, and most memorable, studio sets; with the addition of a modern edge. The absence of complicated adornments, directs focus to the discretely seductive tone of the portrayal…without overwhelming the artistic composition. It’s another beautiful product from the collaborative efforts of two great talents. Enjoy!

In a whole new kind of exclusive, we get to bring you a game-changing talent, that cannot be found anywhere else in the fashion world. Here at Satiety Paper, we are unable to suspend our disbelief that this mind-blowing beauty, Elle Bowman, isn’t wallpapering the industry!!! Discovered for this piece by exploding visual artist, Benjamin Askinas, Elle is one of the most unique, captivating and womanly subjects that we have ever had the privilege of featuring. Her supple curves are unrelenting; her soft, doe-eyed features are stunning from each and every angle…and the ease with which she inhabits her gorgeous body is virtually supernatural. We wouldn’t have the pleasure of reveling this new feminine phenomenon to our readership, if it weren’t for Benjamin’s exceptional aesthetic precision, that pinpointed something very special in her. Benjamin (who has previously contributed flawless, female portraiture to our Paper) has bestowed upon Satiety, the honor of introducing this private and personal peek into a moment of unabashed indulgence; with the kind of astonishing seductress, that most of us will never share a shower with. The warm elegance of the images lends an intoxicating tone to the editorial; and lends such effortless fluidity, as is the characteristic trademark of Benjamin’s work. There could hardly be a more complimentary collaboration of skill, vision and execution. Enjoy!

Satiety Paper brings you a gorgeous new studio series from master photographer Peter Rosa, who crafted his flawless style at the Tisch School of the Arts (New York University). Passion and a strong artistic vision have fueled Peter’s dynamic body of work; always incorporating a clean and elegant aesthetic that is both classical and modern. For ‘Living Art’, Peter cast the goddess (and model), Rebekah Underhill to act as the body of inspiration for the piece. She uses her long, lithe figure to infuse each image with powerful energy and emotion. Visionary in her own right, beauty pro Jessi Butterfield lent sleek and effortless grooming touches to each frame; polishing off the meticulous production. The editorial is equally simple and extraordinary. Satiety Paper has the honor of exclusively releasing this memorable collection of images to our readers and to the world. Enjoy!

Satiety Paper welcomes striking fresh face Kelly Gillespie, and burgeoning fashion photographer Kalan Briggs to our cohort of industry game changers. This editorial, is so simple on the surface, but the depth and intensity that is captured between the artist and his subject, goes so much farther than the superficial beauty that one can appreciate with a passing glance. ‘Pure as the Driven Snow’ is a clean, studio set, with basic wardrobe by stylist Erin Walsh and beautifully bare grooming. The hallmark of some of the best talents, is to create magic without pretense, and this collaboration fits that bill perfectly. Enjoy!

Emanuele Cassina has created some of the most popular editorial exclusives the we have ever run in Satiety Paper. As an artist, she outdoes herself every time, by returning with renewed iterations of the delicate and pure sensuality that effortlessly bloom from an immaculate flower. Her subject, Bianca, is nothing if not tender and alluring. The way she yields for the lens, is entrancing and yet gentle…with a certain fragility. Perhaps it’s the ease of the unspoken woman-to-woman commonality, or perhaps it’s the Italian adoration and idolatry of the female form, but Emanuele turns out dynamic and whimsical work, like she was born to do it. Inspired by the light and shadows of Caravaggio’s classical works, ‘Variazioni Di Tema’ breathes life into an ethereal fantasy realm that transports the viewer from reality to something more divine. Enjoy!

Reminiscent of the fabulously sensual models featured in Guess campaigns since their start: ‘Guess Girl’ Sarah Nicole Harvey stirs the viewers’ imagination and boils their blood, in this risque new editorial from photographer Stefano Brunesci. Incorporating all of the mechanics of sensuality, and the synchronized elements of seduction, Sarah crafted her own hair and beauty styles to set a spicy tone. The subject’s prowess is revealed, as the working gears of space and time mesh together in this exquisite portrayal of passion unleashed. This series successfully captivates, from beginning to end…Enjoy!Credits

“Dizzying” would be an understatement, one would agree, after full acceptance of Cassandra Smith’s almost careless, yet engaging presence in these shots. Photographer Tyrone Lavigne captures her easy vacillation from one emotion to the next in an absolute wash of delicious flavors; leaving the viewer curious and crazed, exhausted in the most vivacious of ways, much like a muscle beaten to strength after a gratifying day of hard work. Drawn to devour, when we catch the glinting spark in her eyes (in such precious few of these fleeting moments), the viewer is at once confronted with the craving to understand the muse, and the realistic futility of that desire…creating a deliciously fervent frustration! There’s a subtle restlessness in our model, as she bares the beauty of her energy… giving it up to us to toil with. The stunning series solicits a compulsion to know her fully, and the hope that one could stand in the flame, unburned, by succeeding. I love the flirtatious elegance of this excellent collaboration. Enjoy!
